After treatment,the scores of ADL and MMSE in the two groups were increased when compared with those before treatment (P<0.05),and the TCM syndrome scores and Hcy content in plasma were decreased when compared with those before treatment (P<0.05);the scores of ADL and MMSE in the treatment group were higher than those in the control group (P<0.05);and the TCM syndrome score and Hcy content in plasma were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference being found in the comparison of incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups (P> 0.05).
